Full details

This DILLING Merino Wool High Neck Top in Purple is designed for kids aged 5-6 years, offering exceptional comfort and natural temperature regulation for year-round wear.

FAQs

Is merino wool itchy?

No, DILLING uses extremely fine and soft organic merino wool fibres which are known for not being itchy, even for sensitive skin.

Can this top be worn in summer?

Yes, merino wool is temperature-regulating. It will keep your child cool in warmer weather by wicking away moisture and allowing the skin to breathe.

How often should I wash this top?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can be worn multiple times between washes. Wash when visibly soiled or when odor becomes apparent. Airing the garment out can often refresh it.

What does 'temperature regulating' mean for merino wool?

It means the wool fibers can react to your body's temperature. They trap heat when it's cold and release heat and moisture when it's warm, helping to maintain a comfortable body temperature.

Is this top suitable as a base layer for sports?

Absolutely. Its moisture-wicking properties and temperature regulation make it an excellent base layer for various sports and outdoor activities.

What is the difference between this and other wool types?

DILLING uses premium organic merino wool, which is significantly finer and softer than traditional wool, making it ideal for direct skin contact and preventing irritation.

Troubleshooting

Garment loses shape after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle (30°C). Avoid wringing or stretching the garment when wet. Lay flat to dry, reshaping gently if needed.

Slight shrinkage noticed.

Merino wool can sometimes shrink slightly if exposed to high heat. Ensure you are washing at the recommended temperature and avoid tumble drying or high heat ironing.

Wool feels less soft than before.

This can happen with overuse of standard detergents or fabric softeners. Try washing with a wool-specific detergent and a small amount of hair conditioner (rinse well) to restore softness. Ensure no high heat is used during washing or drying.
